Very good at their jobs and they are all very friendly
Overall 10 out of 10 came into the property diagnosed the problem, explained what was wrong, explained how long it will take, throughout the whole job Bernice explained the process, need more engineers like her to be honest, was very professional the way Bernice presented herself and the company. Bernice tidied up after job was completed you wouldn’t have known she had been there.
Great
Polite and professional as always.
Had our boiler inspected and then repaired by Gordon this week. He was extremely polite and informative throughout. Nothing was too much hassle and spent as much time as we needed explaining everything
I am very pleased with the work performed. The furnace repair was completed quickly and efficiently.
Plumbers who called to my home where so respectful, a credit to there company, full uniform and informative of how my situation was.
The engineer was pleasant and the work carried out was fast and efficient.
Two friendly, well mannered lads that were efficient and very knowledgeable. They are a credit to the company.
Brilliant company highly recommend they come out right away to help you!!
From all Staff and Boiler service good Customer satisfaction
Excellent Service, Care and Professionalism! I couldn’t recommend this gas company highly enough. They installed a new boiler and a complete central heating system for my Mum who is elderly in her 89s and lives in a bungalow in her own, and from start to finish, their service was outstanding. What really stood out was the compassion, kindness and respect they showed towards her and her home. They took the time to make sure she felt comfortable and reassured throughout the work, treating both her and her property with the utmost care and consideration. The quality of their workmanship and their thoughtful, professional approach gave us complete confidence in them. In fact, we were so impressed that we have continued to use them every year to service the boiler and central heating system. It’s reassuring to find a company that not only does an excellent job but also genuinely cares about its customers. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and considerate heating company. A truly excellent service from a company that puts its customers first!
Came to block of a gas fire that needed removing easy to contact great customer service engineer was efficient and friendly. Job done with no issues great service highly recommended
Great service as always and such a lovely engineer who attended, no complaints whatsoever, very satisfied
Your workers were a great help sorted the problem tidied up
Excellent service
Absolutely outstanding service, we needed a couple of boiler’s installed in a very short time frame, these guys went above and beyond, within 48 hours they were delivered and plumbed in. The guys that were installing never stopped, very clean (nothing left on site), and a pleasure to have in our properties. Then the aftercare service was second to none, with a customer service call asking if everything was okay with the installation and if we needed anything, wow 😮 you don’t get that every day, and working in customer service myself this is something that’s goes a long way. If you are thinking of using this company, have confidence you will NOT be let down, I won’t use anyone else now. Thank you City Technical Services.
Chap came in and got the job done without any bother,good work done 👍
Very friendly and efficient service

The guys were very prompt. Knowledgeable polite and helpful. Explained all that they were doing. They were great 10/10
Very quick arriving and explaining how the boiler works thank you
I am very pleased with there service and would give them 5 stars
The work man was so good and helpful
I have been left without heating and hot water for nearly a week due to a part needing ordered. This is not the first time this has happened with this company. I had a missed call so i phoned back to be told the part couldn't be fitted that day and was lied to on the phone that an engineer had called me the previous day and left an email. 1. I had NO missed calls and 2. You can Not leave a voicemail on my phone. This calls into question your data protection as if someone was called and it wasn't me you have shared my personal detail to a stranger! There is no excuse for being left this long this should have been put through as an emergency there is no excuse for this.
Very good and quick for a response
Great no-nonsense experience from start to finish.
Great guys. Knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with
Very efficient and friendly service
Very quick very good
I can’t recommend Jason enough, he was a lovely lad and very polite. He done his job quickly, then went beyond this to notice other things missing or issues in the property. This was a quick call out too, as it was only yesterday it was booked. I appreciate his work and findings today.
Legend of a guy showed me how to work everything give the guy a raise 20/10

This company has visited twice, they do an annual visit, and both times they’ve been so easy to deal with and very professional. The gent who comes is always pleasant and friendly, gets the job done super quick and lets you know what he’s doing.
The engineer was on time, showed me his badge informed me he was here to fix my central heating, he told me it was a water pressure problem, he showed me the part that was going to replace and I left him to get on with his job, all in all the job took 20-25 minutes(he had to go and get stepladders from his van) he was couteous throughout and there were no problems at all, he asked me to put my heating on and within two minutes the radiators had heated up, all in all a job well done.
Great service professionally done, efficiently and competent engineers. Tidy and polite. No issues and all questions were answered satisfactorily.

Our 86-year-old parents’ boiler had broken down yesterday and today the engineer Michael Shirley attended their home to repair it. They were extremely impressed with the engineer Michael from City Technical Services who came out to fix it. He was kind, courteous and professional throughout, and took the time to clearly explain the problem in full so we all understood what was wrong and what needed doing. He got the boiler working again quickly and efficiently, and we are very happy with both him and the service. A real credit to City Technical Services – highly recommended

Our annual service was carried out very efficiently and professionally by Ryan. Whilst giving the boiler a clean bill of health, he identified a small leak and advised that he would report it and an engineer would come back and fix it. Within an hour, Gordon appeared and just as efficiently and professionally fixed the problem, a perished washer in one of the pipes. I was very impressed with the service provided by City Technical Services
Very happy with work carried out engineer friendly and helpful 👍

Good fast service 24/7.
3 appointments, 3 instances of engineer being "unable to access" the property. 3 instances of me waiting in for the whole day. Absolute shambles
Inept company. Misdiagnosed an obvious fault. Twice! Unable to source available replacement boiler parts. Heating engineer made sexist comment. Heating engineer told me they ‘kick’ insurance jobs/referrals and bank £150. Office staff unhelpful. Five weeks without heating in Feb/March. Boiler insurance with Domestic & General complete waste of time. Would not recommend. BAXI engineers far superior, skilled and professional.
Shambolic. Poor communication, no estimation of engineer arrival time (which can be anytime 8.00-18.00) and it seems to take days to order parts which other companies can source in 24hrs. When the engineer did arrive, he actually caused more damage whilst trying to install new parts, making the problem worse. Scottish Power should be ashamed to work with them.
Disgusted today. Been in waiting all day up at 9. And by 5pm still no gas engineer to do my council boiler check. I call office. Engineer was at property and no access. I’m sorry but he was not here. I was watching for him all day and have no engineer on my ring door camera today. And I do have a working doorbell linked to Alexa who announces someone is at the door. No wonder rating is 2.7. Raging.
I'm not sure where to even start. Poor communication, slow supply chain (I could personally source the parts significantly faster than them) & unhelpful engineers who sometimes turn up. Unfortunately been forced to use them due to Scottish Power boiler care. Avoid if possible.
Cowboy firm they came out to do a service 6 /1 /26 they switched off my boiler told me carbon monoxide leaking into the floo they came back out on the 8/1/26 repaired the part said everything is working fine that me bye Mr logan I put my boiler back on great heat at last , 5 minutes later the engineer came back ask if he could look in the boiler as he thinks he left one of his tools in it ,he look in the boiler found the tool and said sorry you can't use the boiler there is a gas leak a small pipe is broken I was so Angry as ive had no heat for 2 days I asked will it be done tomorrow he replied they'll have to order the part in we'll give you heaters I phoned city technical they said the part should be in on mon it'll be fixed Tues 13/1/26 I stayed in by 1100 I phoned them again the part isn't in yet Mr logan it will be tomorrow before we can fix it so we'll see today that my wife and i are 65 i have alot of health issues including vascular disease and low grade cancer absolutely disgusted with this firm our housing association ROSEHILL are just as bad that now 9 days without hot water and 2 stupid electric heaters for a 5 apartment i don't recommend this company unless you want to live in a igloo for a week
Poor customer service disgraceful attitude and workers are incapable at performing their required job and fixing THEIR mistakes. AVOID!!!
Cannot begin to describe how disgraceful, disrespectful and unprofessional this company are. An “engineer” came out emptied an expansion tank but missed a leaking pcv valve and a dangerous defect. In addition he touched my radiator and caused it to leak. The company are refusing to sort the leaking radiator as apparently it’s “ my word against theirs”. In addition, Emma the manager was extremely uncourteous and failed to try to resolve the situation. When challenged about her mannerism being unsatisfactory she said “ I know, but we are going round in circles here”. My opinion is that surely any manager and indeed company should work with the customer to resolve issues and help alleviate and diffuse situations not admit to being rude and challenge customers further. It’s too late for me now but my advice would be for all going forward to avoid this distasteful company. Wish I could give zero stars.
I would like to leave a very positive review for Lee Rotchford, an engineer from City Technical Services Ltd. He was extremely friendly, professional, and approachable. He quickly identified the issue, replaced a part in the boiler, and everything started working perfectly again. He also managed to fix the radiator in the bedroom and make it properly hot — something other engineers had not been able to do before. I am very happy with the service and would highly recommend him. Thank you!
They have left my elderly mum for a week now with no heater or hot water after 2 so called gas engineer visiting terrible company avoid them !!
Had a lovely gentleman called David from your company was very kind respectful please say a massive thank you to David from Joan
Someone come out to do a SERVICE. Instead takes a part that he says is not working to leave a family run home & full time workers with no hot water told we will have the part next day. Get a call to say they don’t have the part & wont know when they will have it & continue to leave us with no hot water. After all we had warm water till this worker came out. As I said to them why not take a photo of the part we need instead of leaving us in this situation. Poor service.
Just would like to Thank Rory for coming out so quickly and getting my gas on again , lad was easy to talk too and within 10mins he had found and sorted the issue, Be having my Chicken 🍗 tonight thanks too Rory @citytech 💯 Happy ,👍
Poor company rude staff absolutely shocking if I could give 0 I would
They are literally the most incompetent company I have ever dealt with. After 3 years of cock ups, false information and rude staff. I was given £400 compensationf rom legal and general. Who are the middle company between Scottish power and CTS. Avoid! I've signed up with OVO boiler cover. Half the price and twice as nice.! They came to service my boiler for the first time and condemned it. Off the scale emissions reading and claim it's never been serviced. I was with CTS for 5+ years. Absolute criminals that endanger lives!
City technical has too be the worst company I have ever come Across at fixing boilers ? The operatives are rude and obnoxious as well as incomparent I have had issues for the last 6 month's too a year they spot a fault get parts then the people the send fit them wrong or stay in the kitchen for hours calling other workers for help them the latest issue was Friday 18th July the person they sent was too fit a diverter valve didn't put it on properly not once but twice flooded the boiler and my kitchen twice was in for nearly 3 hours left and 30 minutes later boiler wasn't working again no hot water every time they say its fixed it breaks down within minutes of the so called engineer leaving it doesn't work again my point is they doo more harm than good ,incidentally this is Sunday the 20th July now called yesterday Saturday told it needs another part but parts department shut till Monday. Also asked for a complaints form told my complaint has been lodged and a manager would call me ASAP you guessed it no one has called me no hot water all weekend not good enough.
Bunch of cowboys ,on 1 occasion a worker was very rude and aggressive to me ,and I'd advise people to go elsewhere
Received an email to inform me that my annual service was due on my boiler on 16th June for an engineer to come out on 30th June 2025 from 8am - 6pm. No engineer arrived and no courtesy call to inform me that the job had been cancelled etc. I’m self employed and lost a whole days wage due to this. This morning I received yet another email informing me that an engineer would be present on 14th July 2025. I had the decency to email City Technical and cancel the appointment and was give a short swift response “your appointment has been cancelled on our system, thank you”. No apology or explanation as to why the job never went ahead. If you’re looking for boiler and central heating cover, I’d highly suggest you look elsewhere. That is absolutely no way to treat any customer.
Thank you to the A Team, led by Dave Hopkins and his elite squad who replaced all the radiators, installed a new boiler and more and worked tirelessly and very cheerfully at our house this week. A big job in an old house completed ahead of schedule with kindness and consideration to boot and no questions were too much trouble. Thank you, we expected a nightmare and it was an exceptional job by this brilliant team of professionals.
I had a maintenance contract with Scottish Power who subcontract the work to City Technical Services. I logged a boiler fault which City Technical Services diagnosed as"Beyond Economical Repair". I called in a local Engineer who was able to repair the fault for £140 as opposed to £2,700+ for a new boiler! Additionally he estimated that I have another 5-10 years lifespan left in my boiler. Having seen the standard of boiler servicing and diagnosis of repairs, I won't be using City Technical Services and Scottish Power to repair my boiler again, neither can be trusted.
Absolute cowboys. Can't believe they still have customers.
The one star in this review is mainly due to the Engineer initially turning up on the day that we were told he would. We have boiler insurance through Scottish Power and this is who they instructed to attend. We had a problem with the boiler and also the pump beside the hot water tank. Was advised that the pump needed to be replaced and that this would have to be relayed back and I'd hear back once the pump had been sourced. I called the following morning for an update and nearly got my head bitten off for daring to phone and ask when my heating would be getting fixed. Don't phone us, we'll phone you was the response. This was the Friday, left it till the Monday morning when I called again and didn't get a positive update. Decided to cancel the repair and phoned British Gas who had an engineer out within 3 hours. There was nothing wrong with the boiler and the pump and he had it up and running in 5 mins. Aside from the engineer turning up on the first day, overall it was a bad experience with really poor customer service.
Show up, did nothing as the boiler was “working” even though we explained the problems. It took less than 12h to break down again, and since then we have been waiting. 5th without hot water or heating
We had an engineer in our house carrying out some work and in my opinion he is one of the most conscientious tradespeople I have encountered in my entire life Very professional in every way, friendly and sociable and kept us up to date regarding what he was achieving regarding the job His name was Sean MacDonald and he is definitely a credit to himself and the company Any company would benefit from his experience and attitude
No point booking a slot... they just come when they want
The worse outfit I've ever had the misfortune to have attend to botch up a repair, I can't figure out weather it's because they just can't do the job or just don't give a dam how it looks, and have never been given the right information on the job their there to do. And no,one's ever held responsible. Its a nightmare reporting a repair and when they finaly turn up you get a , ( i dont know who's responsible for that and ill get it sorted, thats usually the last you see them, theirs no consistancy in the work whatsoever. Beware ! Thell not be back in my place, their banned. Costs to much to correct the mistakes !
Receptionist taking phone calls should be fired for her extreme rudeness. Interrupting me in the middle of my sentence couple of times, barking on me while I was asking for help is not I’d expect. Not talking about how she handled my query. Leave the job, and find something else where you don’t talk to people, so others don’t struggle, if you don’t like it.
Had an issue with my boiler. Gave the company a simple instruction for their engineer who ignored it completely. When I called to make a complaint I asked to be put through to a manager or the complaints department. The guy said the manager was just going into a meeting. I asked several times when he would be available and wasn't told. I then called back a couple of hours later and asked the same thing the woman then gave me the run around demanding I provide her with the information before claiming she was a manger herself. When asked why she did identify her self as a manager during the earlier part of the call she decided to talk over me saying she did give her name. Glossing over the fact I had asked to speak to a manager no fewer than 9 times. They have no clue what they are doing and have no respect for their customers. And don't seem to be able to tell you anything factual. Close them down and don't hire any of their engineers. Avoid them. Suffer frozen winters and illness before using these people
I cancelled my 1st appointment because I had bronchitis. Arranged for them to come a week later. Since then I've had two letters one from housing and one from company saying I didn't allow access. Perhaps if the call centre relayed the cancellation and new date these letters could have been avoided. Really stupid giving you a number to arrange a suitable date when it's useless as message isn't passed on!!
Had a man from the council out to do the yearly inspection and he felt the need to ask me if I “really needed my heating on as my house was warm enough” and proceeded to turn it down for me despite me asking him not to and telling him I was trying to dry my clothes (not that I should have to explain this in my own home). He then told me that I only need to have heating on when it’s freezing, that I shouldn’t ever have my heating as high as it was and there is “just no need”, went on and on about when to use my heating, then explained how to turn it up and down to me as if I was 5 years old. Blatant sexism. I am an adult woman who has lived in this house for 8 years and why some man felt the need to explain MY OWN heating to me and how to use it is just beyond me. Still cannot believe that he decided that MY heating was too high in MY house and turned it down as if he has any business doing that.
What a complete waste of time this company is. I am with ScottishPower and this is who they use for boiler insurance and servicing through domestic & general. The engineer came out to carry out annual service and found sample pipe where he connects a diagnostic device to had snapped off. There was leakage of carbon monoxide at this pipe and he made safe until a new part could be fitted. I also mentioned an intermittent fault code that went down in his report. I paid domestic and general £99 call out for the repairs to be done and then get notified by “city technical services” that the job can’t be done because of an access issue. There was no mention of this from the Engineer on the service day. The boiler is in the loft and there is plenty access to get off any covers and casings although being in a confined space. What am i supposed to do apart from cut away joists and half my roof off to make life easier for him? To me he didn’t want to do the job because there was not 6 foot of clearance around the boiler. All in all it has been a stressful event for me and have cancelled my Domestic and General boiler insurance and getting my £99 call out fee for a job that was never going to happen unless i demolished half my loft. Domestic and General need to stop using these amateurs.
Absolute joke of a company 5 tines to Look at why my boiler needs reset every time I put my heating on! Dont know how to fix it. I asked for a new thermostat stat valve to be out on a radiator and it fell Off after a day! And 5 visits does not include times where they didn’t show or said they had been and no one was home when I was!! Shocking company 😡
Booked an afternoon appointment with City Tech, ( they call it a " request" like they're doing you a special favour). Wasted four hours waiting for nothing. When I phoned to find out why no show I was told " the engineer was at your home at 3.55pm," ( a blatant lie , either by the engineer or the cheeky, ignorant receptionist, or both working in tandem.) To expect folk to wait in all day or all morning or afternoon for these unprofessional piss taking liars to show up / or not is a complete joke. If you own your own home and need your boiler serviced or annual gas checked ?, I recommend you go elsewhere.
Well, some people have very negative views, that is their perogative. All I can say is that every step of the process of a new boiler and installation of radiators has been not only been seamless but the guys involved have been fantastic from start to finish. I cannot recommend the two blokes yesterday enough, I'm just sorry I don't have their names. The project manager from a few weeks ago made it run like clockwork. Icing on the cake was the hoovering, really this was a great effort, cannot recommend highly enough.
Had a lovely guy out LEE absolutely great service lovely chat with him fixed it with 10 mins great service thanks xx
We have had a leek from the boiler since last week. They have been out 3 times. They said they can't find a leek. I showed them a video of water leeking from a valve.. they came out today. Guess what it's still leaking
Jobworths. Do not use. Leave you without heating and hot water. Fail to do what they promised to do.
The worst company in the universe. Unprofessional and inexperienced engineers are there.
Just saw someone almost knocked down by one of their van drivers going way too fast as pedestrians were crossing at a junction
Never turn up when scheduled, claim to leave cards and voicemails but it never happens. Office blame the engineers, engineers blame the office. No communication with customer. 3 times they’ve “serviced” the boiler under contract from Fife Housing, but still haven’t repaired it! Shambolic.
Came out sorted the problem polite 👍
This company are totally incompetent we have had no hot water in our house for two weeks and counting and as far as I can make out we will not be getting it fixed anytime soon. The first person they sent arrived when I was picking up my daughter from school I was out of the house for ten minutes and when I phoned the number 5 minutes after the time on the slip put through the door they refused to come back The second person they sent said he had no idea how to fix the boiler as he had only been in the job two weeks and wasn't even trained The third person fixed the wrong part of the boiler The fourth person again wrongly diagnosed the problem but still ordered the wrong part anyway The fifth person said they knew exactly what the problem was before they even arrived but he did not bring the part to fix it because even though he was right they have to wait until he came before they ordered the necessary parts It is now 2 days before Christmas with no hot water and this company are still messing us about DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
Had to give it one star, changed appointment last and they came on the wrong day, sent me a letter saying if I wasn't in this week they would force my door in, sat in all day today and they never turned up, waste of a day
Left with no heating,hot water or gas cooker for 7 days couldn’t get the part they told me.0/10
4 days without hot water, heating. And it’s impossible to get services of an engineer.
the heating engineer (chris) was very friendly and kind, he listened to what we had to say and had the problem sorted in no time. thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
if i could give ZERO stars i would- this is the 2nd time we have been let down and blatantly lied to by these cowboys...unfortunately we only need to use them as its through our insurance.......always have the same old excuses of "the part didn't arrive, the part arrived damaged, the manager is in a meeting, etc etc" . over a week without hot water- the girls on reception have a terrible attitude- not helpful at all. never get the call backs that are promised. Managers hide from their responsibility. every time we get a yearly service there ends up a problem.
House sitting with grandchildren and boiler stopped working. Scottish Power sent City Technical (Shaun) out…Genius engineer spotted fault in seconds and fixed in minutes… Nothing but praise… Great call centre staff and brilliant engineer… Dream Team!
Service is first class from the call centre to the engineer, weldone to you all
Avoid completely how they have council contracts I don’t know. Don’t return calls for appointments, turn up randomly cut off gas and then laugh when you call. Leaving me with no gas to cook, heat or wash kids and newborns in the house. Operator sniggered at this just repeating nothing I can do. Wrong information given a number of times, no managers available and just telling you someone will be in touch
I'm going to be as fair as I can with this review. Like some other reviewers on here, I have had some serious issues with the workmanship carried out with my previous boiler system. And an engineer has had to come out and make good what was left. In two cases, I had to call the gas board out and the they capped my gas until the system was made safe. But, as said, although it was a pain in the backside, they came out the same day. In August, I decided to purchase a new Combi. And as I said, to be fair and honest, it was a week between the initial inquiry to the day of installation. The guys arrived at 8:00 and were away by 4:30. Now you would expect some upheaval and the guys that came didn't make as much mess as I had expected. The workmanship seems to be holding well and I've had no reason to call them out - all is working fine so far. The main chap managed to alter the original pipework so that no new pipework was required. That much I am grateful for. There was no damage done to the house interior. Therefore, I can only say, that the most recent work carried out in the replacement of my boiler was very good, and at time of writing this review, working well.
Insured through ScottishPower boiler care and they subcontract to CTS. Boiler serviced by CTS 3 weeks ago, at the end of my boiler cover term period. Everting passed (apparently). I had BritishGas engineer in yesterday to start a new boiler cover plan. BritishGas have rejected to cover my boiler as the operating pressure is well below what it should be. I showed BritishGas the report completed 3 weeks prior and BritishGas have said the results are inaccurate and suggested deliberately, as the part that is needing replaced is circa £700. BritishGas also had to resolve a leak inside the boiler which was caused by a part not being connected back properly, only CTS have had access over the last 3 years. I actually informed the CTS engineer 3 weeks prior I believed there to be water leaking which he said there wasn't. The BritishGas engineer noticed this as soon as the boiler case was opened. I am taking this further with ScottishPower and trading ombudsman as I have been fleeced for 4 years through the Scottish power deal, whilst CTS have completed neglected the boiler.
Refusing to provide information or take my call
This company really went over and above for me, had a quote for my boiler on Tuesday and it was installed in one day by Thursday. Very competitive price which helps
Just out checking my Boiler once a year
Do not use this company in Edinburgh unless you like sitting around waiting for a promised engineer who does not appear. I have wasted two full days waiting on an engineer to fix a relatively simple gas boiler fault. I made it clear that the engineer had to call me to tell me that he was on his way as I do not stay at the property. On the first day I sat around all day. I called several times but they could never get a hold of the engineer. At 7 pm at night I called only to be told that the engineer had been at the property at 5:20pm.... of course I didnt know this as he didnt call me as was advised. I was then told that they would "try" to get engineer to come AM the nest day and I called at 9am to be told that he would come before 1pm. At 2pm I called and was told that he would attend " sometime in afternoon" At this point I raised a formal complaint and was told that a manager would call me to discuss. At this point in time (4pm ) I am still waiting on the call back and the engineer !!!
If i could i would give zero stars. I am covered with them trough Scottish Power and they should service and care for my boiler but they don't do anything actualy. They pretend to look and they find many reasons to rebook the engineer appointment. Some engineers don't know what they're doing, some know but they don't want to fix the problems. For example for a pressure problem on my boiler they stalled for a month saying they will bring new parts then when they attended at house they didn't change any parts and kept saying they need other parts and so on for a month. I can clearly see the boiler leak with my own eyes but they couldn't.
Unprofessional, unreliable & untrustworthy. Avoid at all costs. You have been warned
2nd time I have had damage after an engineer has left my home. A leak from the boiler the engineer was working on. Thankfully the manufacturer of the boiler is coming tomorrow to sort the issue with the boiler.
Utterly appauling service, insurance companies choice, took 4 days to to arrange the correct engineer to attend for a home emergency water pipe leak that was flooding the property. Initially sent a gas engineer who obviously could not fix the issue not being a plumber, then finally after much chasing up they said they were unwilling to work at height (due to health and saftey) . We are talking literally a few feet off the ground The lack of communication was truly astounding, no compromise suggested. I honestly don't know how companies these days actually function if this is anything to go by.
Shower broken and it's going to take 8 days to repair, little long I think
This is a Mickey Mouse organisation, who make out that they are transparent, and provide a safe and efficient service. This could be no further from the truth. As once my mother's heating system was installed, she had to employ a plumber out in order to rectify a discrepancy. There was a loud noise once the heating was live, the plumber could not believe the standard of workmanship, pipes not fitted and no lagging along the pipes. If you can avoid this company, please do not hesitate to do so.. We have decided to seek legal advice, and will be escalating our concerns so that other properties don't encounter similar experiences.
the engineer that came in was lovely , checked everything , had a good conversation and made me feel comfortable, everything is checked and sorted :) thank you
I recently had the privilege of having a novel heating system installed by three hard working gentlemen. From the Initial stages to the concluding end they provided a professional and efficient service. I would highly recommend City Technical Services, and will continue to endorse them at every opportunity. The gentlemen involved in the fitout process was David, Jamie and Ben and the rest of the team, once again thank you!
My mum called them out to fix the pressure on her boiler and they came out to fix it on the 11th then she ended up with no hot water so phoned them again and they came out again the 16th and said she needed a part and still waiting she's not had hot water for ages now and having to boil Kettles for a bath and wash her dishes that's costing loads on electric and she's also a pensioner there a joke of a company
Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the care & workmanship of the engineer (Daniel McCuaig) who attended my property on 14/3/23. Daniel arrived within the time set. He was kind, respectful & went over & above to get the repair sorted as quickly & timely as possible. He knows what he’s doing no disrespect to other engineers I’ve had in the past. If I ever needed a repair again I’d hope that Daniel would be the one to do it. Many thanks Yvonne 🙂
If I could give no stars I would I have been trying to phone them 2-3 times a day from the 3rd March leaving messages each time for them to call me back as i have to arrange a date for new boiler to be put in I have no hot water or heating raging is an under statement don't they listen to there messages.
I have a fantastic gas fitter out to power clean my system . Ewan was friendly , introduced himself very presentable Instilled confidence at door Explained the process and proceeded to put sheets down to protect my flooring . Fantastic service from this guy , felt it warranted a review . Ewan is a credit to the company , I hope management appreciate his dedication He obviously loves his job and takes pride in it
These guys cover my grans house which is a council house. They attend constantly regarding her boiler and can never fix the issue. It’s a pressure issue and the replaced the boiler that was ok no doubt a great expense to the council and the problem was still there. The mess they leave is appalling and moved lots of things around and failed to return them back to where they found them. I called the company they seem in bothered. Well they will be when I she in my bill and then the Sheriff court claim on my grans behalf! The standards I am finding in Scotland are so far below the rest of Europe that as a Scotsman returning back form another country I am affronted this is how the country I left operates!
Delighted with central heating system. The super efficient engineers worked hard, finishing the job in 6hrs.
Spent months trying to get someone to replace old electric boiler. The job couldn't have been better. What was a pipe and boiler nightmare has been transformed with a modern boiler and perfect pipework. To ensure everything was good, they went the extra mile and showed real commitment. Thanks.
I cannot praise this company enough they have been absolutely outstanding. My mums boiler was written off beyond repair on Monday and as of this evening 3 days later she has a completely new boiler in and all completely perfect. My mum is elderly and can’t go without heating - the support this business have given us over the last few days has been exceptional. At some points today there were about 8 people here to make sure it was done in a day. I didn’t get everyone’s names that helped so apols if I miss you out but big thanks to Stuart who did an initial video call on Monday night and who returned with Mark on Tuesday to plan the job and to Euan and Gary and everyone else today who made this possible. I have read some pretty harsh reviews on here tonight which is a real shame I have to tell you it is not what I recognise as the service we have received has been outstanding Thanks to all of the team and I will definitely be happy to recommend Pam
Absolute shambles of a service. I have phoned six times within the past four months to get my heating sorted. Constantly palmed off. My house is absolutely freezing regardless of how many hot water bottles i use or how many duvets i use i am absolutely freezing. Absolutely ridiculous Get it sorted!!!!!!!!!
Very disappointing level of service from City Technical. The engineer they sent out didn’t even know how to remove the cover. He spent only a few minutes in our house and we needed to cut/remove our unit to allow him access, despite the fact 4 engineers from City Technical has previously accessed our boiler no issue. My husband removed the cover for the engineer and now they have said they won’t repair it. Still no hot water or heating and no one cares. Please avoid at all costs.
Leaves a household with a child in with a broken boiler for days. Appalling services
Excellent service
They work for Falkirk Council Absolutely Hopeless.
A week without gas and hot water in freezing temps, 3 engineers , not acceptable , will be taking it further, every time another part, only when you complain will they work the time slot around you .I certainly would NOT be using this company if it wasn't council property
Useless company. "Annual safety check"- they bother me every 8 months. Recently visit of engineer effected with broken boiler. Next day after they fixed my boiler , something happened to gas meter. 2 weeks later my boiler is broken again. There contact number is cost fortune to get through and waiting time-ridicoulus. Annual safety check my a**
Heating and hot water all fixed. Thank goodness. Mark from City Technical and Chuck from Timetra were prompt, fast, efficient, informative and very mannerly carrying out the repair at our flat. Very much appreciated !!!!!
Great service. Boiler was fixed next day.
NO HEATING NO HOT WATER DRIPPING BOILER . TO WAIT 3 DAYS IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES TO BE FIXED .
This company is an absolute joke. So wildly unsafe and incompetent. I pay for boiler cover and my gas has now been off for 25 days since a fault was found during a routine service. There has been no communication from Scottish power, domestic and general or city technical services. We have put in complaints, we have called everyday and there is still no date for my boiler to be fixed. I am freezing cold. There is snow on the ground. There is ice inside my windows and mould inside my home. Do not have anything to do with this company. They are worse than useless.
Had an issue with intermittent hot water, needed a part as usual came back to fit part then once engineer left I had no heating all of a sudden. called them and could get anyone out until the next night then when they eventually came needed another part and we have now been left since Monday (it’s now Friday) with a young son in -10 weather. They do not care, customer service is shocking. My family are practically freezing and they won’t send anyone out to fix the problem THEY made. Furious is an understatement.
Absolute joke of a company. 2 days I have waited in to get my boiler serviced. 1st day I was at home from 1.10pm but the engineer must have appeared more than 20 minutes early (afternoon appointment 1.30-5pm). The 2nd day, I waited in all day then finally phoned city technical at 5.15pm to get an update on approx time engineer would be here to be told that the engineer appeared 30 minutes before and got no answer. I can assure you noone came to my door or left a calling card. Now the issue is being sent back to housing association and I will need to waste a 3rd day waiting in to get the boiler serviced. Going with other reviews I shouldn't be surprised as engineers not appearing seems to be a common issue with this company! Terrible service!
Great company quick if called good service
Can't fault these guys Adam turned up today very polite and professional as issues with my boiler cutting off could see he was passionate about his job and took time to explain what he was doing. Great service as well phoned yesterday and out today thanks city .Sammy s bishopbriggs
Unprofessional company. Over the years, Ive had experienced their plumbers, electricians, joiners and gas engineers. Aside from a few, most are unprofessional. And if you try to complain, their customers services is unbelievingly customise disservice! Stay aware if you can.
I was worried after reading the reviews when I was told City Technical Services were coming out to look at my boiler. But I cannot fault them from start to finish, excellent communication kept you informed and the engineer was brilliant and very professional. Job well done. Thank you
Had six visits from these jokers.Boiler still not fixed.Had to get Vokera in ,fixed it first time. Vokera engineer told me parts that they said had been changed had not been replaced.Phoned and made a complaint .Still waiting on a reply. I've informed Domestic and General I do not want them back in my house
Really poor company. Will happily lie about not being able access the building. If I could give zero stars I would. Avoid at all costs
Had an existing fault with my boiler and with trial and error third time lucky it has been fixed hoorah!! The engineer PETER was excellent! friendly yet professional he has sorted out my boiler issue so happy with his work, he deserves an extra day off! 👏 thanks city technical.
Despite the poor reviews on here, I actually received excellent service from Michael who came to fix my boiler. He was polite, efficient and would recommend him.
Very poor standards of work, customer service and attitude. After servicing my boiler (contracted by Domestic and General / Scottish Power boiler care), it started leaking water immediately. Contacted them directly, as clearly the leak was a result of the service but they refused to take ownership of the problem, instead insisting that I contact D&G to log it as a fault. D&G refused to ask for the engineer to return without me paying the call out fee for a fault! Shocking attitude from both companies. After further investigation, the leak has been confirmed as being caused by poor workmanship during the service. As a result of this episode I have now cancelled the Scottish Power boiler care and found an independent specialist to complete the work to a far higher standard at a much more competitive price.
Shocking service,burst boiler & not a soul answering a phone 🤬
Absolutely delighted by job done by Calum Ramsay to replace radiator for my elderly parents. Calum is a great ambassador for your company.
Abysmal service! They made an appointment for an annual safety check, only gave a date without any approximate time resulting in me having to take the entire day off work, and in the end they did not show up at all, only to send me a letter a few days later to say they "could not gain access" to the property. I was sitting in the house waiting for them all day! If you don't know how to use a buzzer, maybe you shouldn't be looking after people's boilers...
Run now! Had my annual boiler check with Scottish power and these “engineers” arrived. To then break my boiler and exact words “sorry I don’t know what I’ve done to it it won’t turn back on” to spend hours on phone to manufacturer to the. Lie to Scottish power and say it needs a few parts but really it’s beyond repair. This boiler never had one breakdown before this lot touched it. Now having to get a new boiler elsewhere as wouldnt let this company or it’s staff anywhere near my home never mind give them The money for new boiler. Why are Scottish power using them?????? High level complaint logged with all correspondence to the ombudsman family of 6 left no heating or hot water - shameful if I could give zero stars I would
We had an engineer Ben the last couple of days help us out when all the issues we had with our property. He went above and beyond cant thank him enough
Put a DANGER SAFETY WARNING DO NOT USE sticker on the boiler in my HA property due to FGA readings being sky high then said but you can just turn it on if you need hot water - either it’s safe to use or it’s not!
Customer service very apologetic, Let's face it they have to be. 1st visit to fix heating , water still working . Advised problem was not covered, Arranged visit from very helpful engineer from another company, who did the required work ( at my cost ) as not covered no issue. 2nd visit new pump installed, still not working, and once advised to consult Google!!! He left. Now no heating or hot water, and nice leak for my trou le
Worst company. They shut off my heat and hot water and said it will be fixed in 24 hours. It eventually was fixed 6 days later. The office staff were totally unhelpful.
Terrible service
just like to say that they are a joke ripped my viynal not even had it down a year
Radiator making one hell of a noise and not a bleeding issue. Guys came yesterday whilst doing another job diagnosed the problem straight away and fitted a new valve. Couldn't ask for more. They were still smiling and laughing at the end of a hard day too. Thanks guys.
Excellent company to deal with very Impressed, an engineer attended today parts fitted and all back up and running in just a few hours of logging the breakdown, elaine especially was Very helpful couldn't do enough to help she arranged an engineer out who arrived within the hour to stop an uncontainable water leak, cannot praise enough... Thanks again guys
Can’t praise them enough, had a gas leak and everything was fixed today. Ben the gas engineer made sure everything was working as it should before he left. Very pleasant big lad ,and a credit to the company. Thanks again .
,Couldn’t have asked for any better service, girls were very helpful on the phone and engineer was out within the hour. Great service.
Great company fantastic customer service
Excellent service, no hassles what so ever
Great company with great customer service, reliable and fast.
On Monday I woke up with no heat, I called D&G who I have a policy with and they sent an engineer from City Technical. The engineer was polite, smart and followed covid guidelines. He explained I needed parts and left temporary heaters. The follow day I received a call from office staff to book my parts and because I had no heat and young children they book them in for same day. Same engineer attended fitted part and now everything is working. Unfortunately people only review when unhappy, so 10/10 from me and I will 100% recommend 👌
Absolutely terrible, I have a policy with ScottishPower, who use City technical as their engineers. Since this company got the boiler service contract with Scottish Power I have had nothing but trouble. I had my annual service on 7/2/22, heating and hot water working when engineer arrived, during his service a metal screw broke, he informed me that he had to turn my boiler off and I would have no hot water or heating until the part could be replaced. He said he would raise a job and I would be contacted within 4 hours. No contact I had to call in and query more than once to eventually be told the part required ordering. Later that night I received a phone call from an engineer informing me that the part was van stock and an engineer would attend on 8/2/22 to repair the boiler, also received a text message confirming appointment . Took the next day off work waited until 1230 to call in only to be told there was no appointment for the engineer and they didn’t have the part after all now needs ordered. Informed them of the conversation with the engineer the night before only to be told they would contact the engineer and ask them to contact me. No contact, I again phoned in and was advised that a colleague was chasing it up and they would call me back urgently with an update. 2 hrs later still no call, I called again only to be told I was advised on my last call that a part is required and will have to wait until they have it, conflicting information provided from each person I spoke to, they also tried to tell me I had cancelled my policy on one call, just absolute lies. My last contact was that I just have to wait, no time scale as to when they would be out to fix the problem. Absolute joke of a company, leaving families with young children with no water or heating with no estimate as to when they will fix it. Also people saying engineers were booked in when they clearly weren’t and no contact to advise they weren’t coming. This is not the first time I have had similar issues. Constantly waiting on phone calls that never happen. Still waiting with no idea as to when they will fix my boiler. Complaints going in to Scott power and City Technical
Excellent service received from city technical services. My boiler stopped working yesterday, they sent an engineer out on the same day to repair and I received a call the following day to arrange a return visit to fit the parts. Very quick turnaround and will definitely use again in the future should i have any issues.
The girl Laura I dealt with couldn’t be more helpful. Fast & efficient service.
Called to get my boiler serviced spoke to a girl Kirsty she was great friendly totally recommend there service
First class service, friendly customer servce team. I am delighted at the service I have received on more than 1 occassion. Thank you!
My boiler broke down on Saturday night, engineer came out Sunday. Unfortunately a part was needed, company contacted me on Monday to say part would arrive Tuesday. Booked a morning appointment for Wednesday, engineer came just after 9am, very pleasant and polite ( both were). Boiler now in working order. I found the call centre staff very helpful, very happy with the service!
They failed to turn up for a boiler service, and when contacted, they (Kirsty) replied with a blunt email without even apologising! Quite amazing that a company wouldn't apologise. It seems they are doing work for Scottish Power so don't mind about having a poor reputation or providing a poor service.
Do not use this company you will regret it terrible service. You have been warned.
I won't go into the details of my interactions with this company all I will say is if your boiler is deemed "Beyond Economical Repair" and they won't repair it get a second opinion before you proceed to replace your boiler at great expense. You may find there is nothing wrong with the boiler or if it does need repair it could cost a fraction of the cost to replace it. Cost me £150 for a repair (needed a new water pressure sensor) as opposed to £2000+ for a new boiler! The end result of my dealings with City Technical is I cancelled my maintenance contract with Scottish Power which I had for many years and explained to them why in detail (Am a Chartered Engineer). I doubt it will make any difference to Scottish Power but one thing is certain I will have no future dealings with City Technical. I will now use a local company who offer an emergency response service for any repairs if necessary and for the annual service of my boiler .
Terrible service. Engineer came out and diagnosed issue and promised to have repaired within a timescale.....days later once we called to chase it up we were lied to about "supplier issues". Girl on telephone had terrible attitude....AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. still awaiting a resolve.
Don't even want to give 1 star but have to as can't post unless I do. After 3 engineers had called out I eventually got one that could be bothered and diagnosed the main circuit needed replaced. Booked the appointment and drove 178 miles especially to be there that day. Advised I would need 1 hour notification as I was visiting my son. Got a private number calling me then hung up - apparently I am meant to know that's the Gas engineer at the house !! They could not wait the 15 minutes I had asked so they re-arranged for the same day - couldn't even give me an indication of time - so again I requested a quick call before. Didn't even get a call and again the engineer couldn't wait. Customer service advisor who was apparently the area manager, had shocking customer service skills, she basically called me a liar and again the engineer could not wait 10-15 mins for me to drive to the property. I called and complained to Domestic & General who were very good - and got re-arranged with another company. Will never deal with them again
I've "used" this company through Scottish Power Boiler Care. Scottish Power run this through Domestic and General who's staff are absolutely top notch and have helped me out on several occasions over the past 4 years that I have had to deal with them for boiler services. City Technical on the other hand are terrible. Their basic lack of customer services is shocking. One year I had my appointment cancelled 4 times by them. The first twice they didn't bother turning up, the third time when I called they told me they wouldn't be coming out because there were other emergencies. Each of the appointments had been booked by them. Which coincidentally is a whole day slot from 0800-1800. Each time the staff were pretty unhelpful, terrible phone manners and lack of basic customer service.ie.Just answering the phone "Hello *name* speaking".... I had to ask if I'd phoned the right company and got short, unhelpful answers as though they just couldn't be bothered. Domestic and General eventually authorised me to find a local engineer and arrange it myself. My service was now months late. The next year I got a call when I was at work.... The City Technical engineer had just turned up at my house. No notification at all. I'd already had my service carried out and did the same as the previous year, to avoid the bother. This year I called the Scottish Power cover (As I'd changed suppliers) and found it was time for a service. This had already been arranged through City Technical and so I was put through to them to find out when. I was told the date, and told I'd been sent a letter months ago, I hadn't. That date was when I wasn't available, and it would be months before another available all day appointment again. I went back to Domestic and General and was authorised to sort it myself again, so I did. A couple of days later a letter turned up from City Technical with the original date on it. Rather than waste an engineers time, I called them to let them know I'd arranged it myself. Again, a short "hello"..... Had to ask if I'd called the right company. I then explained what had happened, only to be told I couldn't do that and it would invalidate my warranty making my boiler unsafe. It wouldn't. I explained that, told them I just wanted to let them know, to which I got the reply along the lines of "Yeah, OK, whatever" and the phone went down. No apology, zero customer service or actual interpersonal skills. They're that bad that I've called Domestic and General asking not to use City Technical again. Each year I've had to deal with them, I've had to sort out the issues they've caused, along with the shoddy customer service and attitude of the staff on the phone. Avoid City Technical Services at all costs.
I had issues with boiler, it’s insured via domestic and general and after an awful lot of malarkey and telephone calls I eventually got referred to this company. I thought they were quite good, the engineer was a bit late arriving but it’s understandable given current circumstances and the telephone staff were all very polite and helpful. The main issue is with domestic and general not CTS, in my humble opinion. Smith is an alias.
Worst service I had in ages. It has now been 9 days with no hot water or heating. When an engineer was sent out with the parts, the parts were faulty and he recognized that before fitting them in, however he fitted the part in temporarily only to find out it failed after a day. I am now waiting on another part which is taking ages to arrive. I keep calling them and no one can give an ETA. I should have called Vokera instead on the first place. Avoid City Technical at all costs, except if you enjoy cold showers for 10+ days.
After a phone call yesterday to report a leaking radiator and a non working one, an appointment for this morning was made! The engineer who came was polite, pleasant and very helpful. Fixed both radiators and kept us informed every step of the way. Fabulous.
the wild west lives ... don't phone these guys just make your way to Morrison's car park in Dumbarton and you'll find the posy tied up and sleeping in the coral
Have been without hot water and heating for over 2 weeks. They have given me 2 previous days that they did not turn up an was told that they would be here at 9 AM today and have still not arrived. Tried to call but could not get through even on the number with extortionate call rate.
had an engineer at the buzzer think he thought he was at rave pressing my buzzer like a base line! called call centre got the phone put down 3 time before i spoke to the most condescending person ever to the point that i felt like i was being patronized, terrible service would not recommend this company ever, spoke over me to the point i put the phone down Avoid if possible wouldn't recommend ever
Great customer services even working from home staff are so efficient and caring
Hi, had my annual boiler check carried out by City Technical Services LTD last month. The engineer who was on site declared that there was a CO2 leak on my boiler, as the flue was not attached properly, the engineer at the time did not cap the gas, as he said he could make shift make it safe. This didnt sit well so i booked another gas engineer to come look today the 13/3/21 my gas was capped by that engineer and i was given a domestic gas safety record and a warning notice not to use my boiler as it was classed "immediatly dangerous" Myself, partner and 6 year oh who by the way stays in the room with the co2 leak, are now being left with no heating or hot water for atleast a week until its fixed. Your engineer has broken The gas safety regulations act 1998, which will leave City Technical liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £5000 and/or prosecution. I have all the evidence here, unfortunately need you to reply with a proper email for me to forward it on. What the engineer does next is entirely up to him as he is meant to report such incidents, me however im now left with a bill to replace this flue.
Had our Annual Service on the 1st July and a couple of issues where found. We are now one month in and they still haven't been fixed. I've had to phone for an update on 3 occasions, still no further forward. The customer service dept of this company is very lacking and needs looking at promptly, leaving customers hanging on for weeks. Scottish Power, Domestic & General you both seriously need to rethink who your subcontractors are, to fulfil your agreements. I will be definitely rethinking my boiler agreement when it comes to an end.
Excellent job completed today, new boiler fitted installers, electricians joiner and plasterer all did first class job.
Had to give this review a star so it could be read. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I’ve had numerous issues with them and in particular their complete lack of customer care/service. Waited for engineers twice in the last 7 days and no call to say they couldn’t make it. Also other issues to do with coming back with a part and not returning. Scottish Power should be ashamed of themselves for contracting out to this company. Wish I’d read all of these reviews before agreeing a contract with SP.
Boiler got serviced needed a part ordered on the Saturday engineers said should be here and boiler all sorted by Tuesday heating and hot water turned off. Phoned city services on the Saturday said they would be in touch got to Monday no word, phoned on Tuesday at 16:30 none of the stuff had been forwarded to insurance company and part still not there told I would be phoned on weds still no word as the day went on phoned the insurance they sorted their part told me city services would phone that day they didn’t had to phone onThursday finally got through to someone part finally arrived would get done on Friday I stressed that it would have to be very early then as working nightshift told they start at 09:00 should be no problem didn’t turn up minus temps I had to wrap myself in a blanket dozed for five mins the guy had been and went phoned them up said they tried to delay till Monday said I couldn’t wait till then as freezing told me they would get manger to phone me in an hour 2 and half hrs later still no word phoned again manager not notified had just put me in for Monday the women on the phone was very helpful got me through to the manager who tried to fob me off and even though said calls were logged had no idea how many times I had phoned and this was the first she had heard of it and couldn’t see all the times I had phoned. Customer service is atrocious and will be changing my boiler insurance to anybody that doesn’t use them
Same as last reveiw saying parts will be here last monday and still not here leaving my parents, two pensioners with no heating in an old sandstone house. At the end of the day they dont care its all to save money by not simply having some basic parts in vans over the closed festive season. Why say you are "small enough to care" when actualy its just all about the money stuff the customer. If this is for your elderly parents def avoid at all costs its not worth it youl be chasing them all the way.
8 days with no heating and not water.. Temperature close to zero.. I have 2 little kids.. I kept phoning everyday and the person on the phone said that no one left a message that I phoned.. Even after I complaint about the service and I said to treat as urgent.. They kept on ignoring me.. I have to phone the company everyday to only find out that there are no parts for the repair and they did not bother to chase it up . Very very poor customer service.. Not good enough for a boiler breakdown.. Now planning to move to a different engineer
Totally shocking service !! Would not recommend!! Came out to service my mums boiler which was working perfectly for years, the guy bent the metal part inside the boiler and broke a valve when he put the front part back on, the temperature gauge was going up to 3 then cut off the boiler altogether as this is a dangerous fuilt, the next day a different engineer came out had had to order the part this was on the Friday my mum phoned to find out when it would be fixed was told the part wouldn't be ordered till Monday, as the cant order parts at the weekend, then on the Wednesday another engineer came out without the part and was very arrogant to my parents who are in their mid 70's then left with a terrible attitude, my mum phoned again to be told she would need to get an independent engineer to fix it as the are refusing to fix the damage which was their fault in the first place . Stay well clear of these cowboys
Workers always so pleasent. Great job as usual
Great staff but my bouler keeps breakibg down help
Catalogue of mis-diagnosed faults - 2 weeks on and 4th engineer to visit broke a part in my boiler- no hot water or central heating for 6 days and apparently they are not repairing it. Scottish power are cancelling the contract. My heating was working before he broke that part. Disgraceful on all your parts - scottish power, domestic and general and city tech. Do not whatever you do get Scottish Power boiler cover.
Heating fixed quickly & good to see quality of workers have improved.
The worst company ever left my dad and my mum whose 80 and disabled without heating and hot water for two days now still not fixed my mum can't get out of bed cos it's that cold said they would come out with heaters but nothing
My Cousin had just informed me that there family recently had a gas leak in the house. The problem was with a small of gas from the bathroom? They don't have any heating as the heating has been switched off! Come on Guy's! Where is the justice when all taxes are paid to keep companies going? My aunt is not keeping too good, nor is my uncle, both in their 80's. And this is how ( CITY TECHNICAL SERVICES DEALS WITH CUSTOMERS ) should be ashamed of yourselves leaving this family without heating or hot water for days. This needs addressed fast!
Received a call but missed it as was upstairs with my toddler. I phoned back straight away to get someone with a bit of attitude as they said the engineer would visit the following day and that Scottish power had no right to give out a daye time etc. So on the day was told between 8 and 1. Got chapped at 7:45. Saw van outside at 7:30 as i got up for work so had to get hubby up and jump in shower quickly. Guy came in. Seemed nice enough. Knew his stuff dont deny that. Worked away explained everything to hubby. Left once job done. As hubby was putting stuff back noticed bottle of vodka gone. This was a gift. Then received a letter telling us they tried to call us to make arrangements to come fix boiler. That phone call took place so i was pretty annoyed. Happy the boiler working not happy with the other stuff.
Because it's great
Excellent service. Very efficient installation of boiler. From the office staff and especially the fitter David first class service at all times.
Dreadful, dreadful service. We have been without heating or hot water for two weeks now and have lost count of the number of excuses from this company. Do not recommend. Have had to give it one star to post this but it's actually a zero from me.
Another pathetic effort by CTS. This is the second year in a row that they have failed to turn up for an appointment to service my Gas boiler. I even called them at 11:35hrs this morning and “Brodie” put me in hold and called the engineer who said they would arrive between 2pm and 5pm - no show at all! This is the second time in two years - and their flexibility in booking appointments is atrocious, having given them 5 dates they told me none were suitable so today was the compromise over and above their dictated date. Scottish Power who provide my boiler care will be suitably notified and dumped. Shocking City Technical Services from Glasgow.
This company is used by Scottish Power for the boiler service I have had two appointments cancelled due to alleged high demand in calls .... I have had to rearrange and this is inept service from this company . Would not recommend and when I asked to speak to manager just got a feeble excuse for their cancellations . Avoid this company
Good service
Lovely friendly staff.Agreed to inform me of likely time of arrival and did exactly that.Have previously rearranged appointments with no hassle. Engineer was friendly and professional
The young man who came to do gas check explained what he was going to do, showed ID and was very efficient. No mess was left and thoroughly deserves the 5 stars I have given
Pleasure young man very professional
The Gas Engineer came to the job at 9am.. He explained what he was here to do & that he had a trainee with him. They both had uniforms & id with them. The inspection was performed efficiently and no mess was left behind. All in all, it merits a 5 star rating 😁
First and last experience of these cowboys. Having said boiler itself was ok but flue had a hole I asked would it be capped he said no but he should!! Get a letter today from domestic and general to say get the flue sorted and they will come back and finish service!!
Worst service ever
Fast, efficient boiler service. No fuss, no mess. Engineer was polite and he introduced himself using clear identification. Cannot find fault with the service in any way.
Had my annual service today at time allocated. Courteous engineers who left kitchen clean and tidy afterwards.
My boiler wasn't working right and when the engineer came out he was quite rude and said yous are getting new boilers soon and I asked was it that say he didn't know said my boiler was a bit unsafe to use and left I found this company doesn't communicate with each other
The engineer came today to do my gas inspection. He was extremely professional and polite and left my kitchen spotless after the inspection. Very happy with the service thankyou x
Great service engineer arrived within allocated time very efficient and explained what he was doing and anything that landlord needed to sort
They fail to fix anything 1st time then they fob you off and when the leak there still not fixed causes damage to property they just lie and try it's a new leak
Got these cowboys sent out by Domestic and general on behalf of Scottish Power. Had 6 visits from them, all 4-6hr visits. Our boiler had heating and intermittent hot water. After first visit left us with no heating or hot water from Thurs - Monday. And after 6 visits and replacing many many parts, left boiler in worse state, Finally they sent a report to D&G that it was sludge damage.????? Why couldn't you have came up with this at the start of your investigation of the boiler, we could've then maybe got this fixed. I think this eas a get-out as yous didnt have a clue how to fix it.
In the middle of a dispute with this company. Scottish power sell an insurance product , which is underwritten by Domestic and General and then contracted out to city technical. All of the engineers are very pleasant to deal with , hence the one star. However , 6 engineers and coming up to 5 weeks later and one destroyed floor as a result of boiler not being fixed and subsequent serious leak, I have lost faith and can't see an end to this hideous comedy of errors. Cannot recommend. Please , just find a local , qualified engineer , you'll save yourself the hassle of this nonsense.
Got told person b between 8am-1pm showed up just after 9am very polite and quick and clear any mess was really happy with service and great full at time of arrival as I had a lot of things n appointments to get to
Q. How many city technical services guys does it take to fix a boiler? A. Undetermined - more than 4 anyway! After contacting City technical services via Scottish Power, my family had 3 weeks of no hot water or heating. City technical services visited at least 4 times, claiming to have replaced multiple boiler parts but did not fix the problem. Contacted the boiler manufacturer company who took 1 visit to solve the problem. The manufacturer company also explained that some of the parts that we were told were replaced were in fact the original parts, so we were told a lie. Terrible company.
If i could give a minus i would Came out to carry out my annual boiler service. Note the word service but carried out a basic gas safety check. Massive difference. Engineer left my boiler in a dangerous condition and it blew up within 6 weeks of so called service. Cts denying liability and refusing to pass on details of thier public liability insurance company so i can effect a claim. Disgrace of a company but karma will ensue as pics and independent report passed to gas safe register who are investigating. Also passed to bbc watchdog and local press and msp and industry regulators. Cant say i didnt warn them i would do so. Be very carefull if using this company as thier negligence could have killed us. Would have no hesitation in NOT recommending them
Great workmen always polite and never leave a mess.
Engineers arrived at arranged time were polite efficient and quick , I was very happy with service
Hi, Just had Engineer Mark Tierney to fix my problem with the pilot light always going out he got to the problem straight away and virtually serviced it again and could feel the difference straight away as it's not been working for about a week(I was away and didn't know until I came home),,but my mum who is 84 and bedridden couldn't fone has she couldn't get to the fone, so thank you Mark for a great professional job,,,😀😎😀
This company wrote to me saying my boiler was due for servicing and that they had already made an appointment to visit me. I've never had any prior contact with them and my boiler isn't due for a service. It looks like a scam, and that view is reinforced by virtue of their website not working, plus their 0333 number appears not to be registered with a phone provider. I will never deal with them or contact them.
Lovely engineer came out today to fix our boiler, she was very polite and talked us through what she was doing and why. A pleasure to have in our home.
So far awful experience with this company. Twice out to fix my boiler in 3 weeks. Now I have to wait for yet another part. In the meantime no heating! No time scale given. So off to ring Scottish Power with the hope of there input sorting this. Waited 3 weeks for a part to come only to be told that the part had arrived two weeks earlier and the 'office' should have rung me to arrange a visit. This didn't happen and Scottish Power had to chase them up. No heating in the meantime except for a couple of hours at night. Apparently the circuit board is broken, now waiting for a new one. Still no heating all day and I have arthritis and a heart condition, I need heat. I will see what Scottish Power can do to speed these guys up. Engineers pass the blame to the 'office' for lack of communication. I don't care who is to blame, just sort it!
The man who came to do my annual gas inspection done a fine job, he told me everything he was doing he was polite and he left everything tidy.
There seems to be a common theme here with this company as I read some of the other views. I am with Scottish Power, it seems this year they outsourced it to Domestic General who have out sourced it to City Technical. While getting the appt. was a bit of a hassle we finally got a date for the service. The communication leading up to it is great lots of text messages notifying me of the appt. date. On the day I have someone in the house all day and at 10am get a message saying no one is home and the engineer has left. No notification they are 30 min. out or on there way. When I rang the centre two min. later the centre said they were at your house at 9:56 and couldn't get access (bare in mind this is 10:04 now) can you return for the apt. sorry sir they have left the area now the booking centre will be in contact in 48 hrs to rebook the appt. No attempt to turn around to attend the apt. or try and rebook that day. I can assure someone was in the house working in office and over looks the drive way so any reasonable attempt and they would have gained access. Very poor guys. Update to this post: 3 days on and I was contacted City to resolve the problem. They apologized and booked me in an engineer at my convenience. The service went fine and as planned. So I have adjusted my rating to three stars as a result.
Engineer who called was on time, polite but didn't really explain anything, just said he was done and it was fine.
It won't allow me to leave 0 stars! Please stay away from these cowboys! They were here 5 times to fix a leak in the boiler that still isn't fixed (we've gave up). We went a full week without hot water & heating to which they gave us £20!! The boiler was fine until they serviced it! 5 times to fix a leak that was upstairs that got so bad the ceiling was soaking. While fixing it he punched a hole in the ceiling that they are now not willing to fix. They do work for Scottish Power boiler care so we had no choice but to go with them. It's going to cost me a small fortune to put right all their wrongs. Please save yourself the hassle & avoid shity technical services!! Also avoid Scottish power boiler care as they were not willing to help either!! To say i am angry is an understatement.
If I could leave zero stars I would. Their refusal to make an appointment time leaves you sitting there all day long and sometimes don't even turn up like today. Last time they tested my boiler they broke it and took 4 attempts to fix it. The worst company I have ever dealt with period.
Completely and utterly useless. Didn't turn up to service boiler, I stayed in all day as the window for arrival was 0800-1800. Wrote an email through their website, didn't even bother replying. How more inept is it possible to be?
If I could leave 0 stars I would. I took the morning off work to wait for City Technical Services to come and service my boiler which will maintain it's warranty as arranged by Homeserve. Today, I was at my house from when I woke up at 7am through to leaving for work at 1pm. I called City Technical Services to ask where the engineer was and the lady said that the engineer attended the house at 11.30am and could not gain access as nobody was home. I told her that was not possible as I was there the entire time and my living room window looks out onto my driveway so I could have seen the engineer turn up. She said that's what the engineer is saying and he is no longer in the area. They said they tried to call me but they didn't have the correct number for me - I had provided them with my mobile number at the time of booking but decided to phone me on my old landline number. I know for a fact that City Technical Services have lied to me and are covering their tracks. I have logged a formal complaint with Homeserve who are going to arrange for a reputable company to come out and service my boiler as I won't take any more time off for the clowns that are City Technical Services. Avoid at all costs.
Waited in all day for engineer to come fix boiler thats had a warning sticker on it for approx 3 weeks phoned up to say he still not arrived the lady said the engineer couldn't gain access and phoned my phone but it just rang out both absolutely untrue there was no attempt to gain access or to contact ☹☹☹☹
Encountered this company for the first and last time. I moved my gas service plan to Scottish Power and they use them for annual services. They arranged an appointment for today for between 1-6pm. Having a dog I walked him at 12 and returned at 12-25 to find the engineer leaving. I said can you do it now and he refused. So now they want me to take more time at home in June. Shambolic guess it’s time to go back to Scottish Gas as never had nonsense and poor service like it with them in past 10 years.
This is the company scottish power use to when you have boiler care cover SO FAR i have been left without heating and hot water for 10 days and will be left without heating and hot water for at least three more as they do not work Bank Holidays they do not return phone calls when they say they are going to and are as much use as a chocolate fire guard insult to injury is if i did not have boiler cover my boiler would of been mended by now so THANKS for nothing city tech
I am now three days without heat awaiting yet again an engineer to call. At over 80 years old and disabled with arthritis this is not good enough. Promised to come yesterday then at 8.am today. Now 8.50 and still not here. I will definitely not be renew ing my contract when it runs out. Also kept 25 minutes on payment line before I get connected. Very fed up.
Nice friendly engineers who are very professional in the way they conduct themselves and carry out their work.
Great service from the 2 engineers who serviced our gas supply today 👍🏻👍🏻
The gas engineer was very polite , arrived on time , the yearly check up was done to a good standard .
Absolutely disgusting, they are leaving my 2 year old girl with asthma without heating or hot water due to incompetent staff both in the office and in the field. The weekend supervisor Laura is cheeky and doesn’t understand why I would be angry as she is clearly thick.. I will be doing all I can to spread word about city technical and how disgustingly bad they are..
What a great company and davie mccafferty is an excellent engineer who took time to explain everything to us. What a nice well mannered guy Would recommend this company
Engineer arrived when he said he would, very pleasant manner very polite asked all the right questions regarding my satisfaction with the present heating system. Created hardly any mess and tidied up any he did make. Advised me of boilers condition and said that from what he had seen i should be fine until the next expectation. Overall good job.
City Technical Services came for my annual gas check yesterday, at the agreed time and all was carried out quickly & efficiently by friendly staff with no fuss. He explained what he'd done & all was well.
First class service, engineer done the annual gas safety check on my boiler no hassle and no mess
Although I was unaware someone was coming out to service my boiler I was glad that the engineer caught me in time to save rearranging. He was very professional and I barely even realised he was in the house! Happy with the service.
The workers who came to carry out the work at my home were very courteous. They completed the work efficiently and left the area tidy. I was very pleased that they were here early as well as this meant I don't have to wait in on my day off. I also found it very easy to change the date and time of the visit due to work commitments and the staff I have spoken to have been very polite and professional.
Just to say thanks for the total professional visit from your technician who came to service my Gas Boiler on seeing I had to carbon monoxide alarm not only did he fit one , but he spent time advising what to do if the alarm ever went off. I would have no hesitation on recommending your company for their considerate way they dealt with me at this time . Thank you once again . Sandie Stone xx
Excellent customer service and tech service!!!
Excellent service, hot water problem identified, and addressed by engineer.
Today we had our Gas Check done by City Services, it was carried out by their technician, and I have to say that he was very pleasant and carried out the check quietly and left the place clean and tidy. He was the very first technician to do his test and then put all the settings of both heating and water temperature back to our personal preference In the past all technicians have left the settings at the highest possible temperature, which led to some scalded hands with too hot water from taps. And a swelteringly high room temperature. So 10 out of 10 for todays visit.
Guys were very friendly and fixed my boiler that's been broke for months thanks
Very efficient. no mess whatsoever .Polite and quick
Job No. 360115 Engineer Wayne Thomas was punctual and carried out the boiler repair efficiently and was also very polite. He also cleaned up when finished. Many Thanks John Pearce
Fantastic service 👍
Great service. Service engineer was polite and friendly. Great job done
Central heating boiler serviced thoroughly by very nice and informative young man.
my surname is mckenzie
Always friendly and helpful
Engineer arrived punctually for annual gas service. He was efficient and friendly. He did not make any mess.
City tech staff were friendly and professional and on time.
On Monday 2nd October, we were asked to wait-in for your engineer to inspect our gas-fired boiler. He arrived in good time, was in uniform and had all the right tools. He was fast, he was thorough and he was tidy - and he was well-mannered and polite. I hope we can have the same man to check our gas equipment next year!
Friends had recommended City Technical Services to us after having their Gas Boiler replaced. We knew that having our heating replaced was a major expense and you hear so many horror stories of bad workmanship, however I have to say that we haven't been disappointed. We had an the initial visit from Mark, then a technical survey with Kyle, is was very apparent that we where dealing with a professional company and they both took a great deal of time to listen to what we wanted. The Installation team was fantastic! and when we returned home to a finished job that night there wasnt a single thing out of place, they brought their own cleaning equipment and the place was spotless. i found it extremely re-assuring that a post inspection visit was carried out, and the inspector took time to run through the boiler programmer with myself and Joan. Many thanks City Technical see you in 12 months for my free annual service visit.
Engineer very polite, he called ahead so that I could get home from work so not having to use annual leave!! He had the parts in his van so he could get my heating fixed in one visit... that’s what I call 1st class service!!
Don't usually leave feedback about a company but got to say due to the guys that came to install my boiler.... Spot on lads you made it easy would def recommend
12 times in 2 months engineers have been and still no repair or foreseable solution pathetic service and complete disregard for disabled and there needs
Quick enquiry phone call less than 2mins, and i've been charged £1.49! Douch Bags...
Reported a problem with a new boiler, after being put hold for a "minute" (almost 5 mins) I was told the issue would be reported to another department and to expect a call back. No call back despire waiting around all day. Disinterested company
woeful,woeful and woeful! Been waiting since January for them to install a safety update on my Gazco gas fire, they cancel appointment after appointment. You phone up to make new appointment they say they got no appointments, you tell them you are a disabled pensioner who has been without gas fire all winter and all they do is leave you on hold. A truly shocking company with zero customer service. If I could give them no stars I would, avoid at all costs.
Why do you charge this much for people calling you for inquiries? I don't understand how a 1 minute call is 0.57p?!! Your number does not even tell costumers it will charge this much!
One star is one star too many. Turn up late, make a job look and sound bigger than it really is. Company employees are compulsive liars, from the office to the so called engineers. Don't think much of their technical ability, just out to rip you off. 2 weeks now with no heating, 2 kids in the house. they are simply not interested.
Daylight robbers. They charged me nearly double the going rate for a boiler to be fitted. And I spent nearly £30 on phone calls, constantly chasing them up for a service I didn't have a choice but, to use, because my boiler cover with HomeServe and they will only allow me to use them. Hence why they took the mick with pricing. Also guessing HomeServe would have also covered their own cost with my quote, hence why we were only allowed to use City Tech. Also have 2 infants in the house and had to wait in total about a week and a half, so much for urgency.
Service is terrible. Have left an elderly woman without heating for three days now in minus 7 degree weather. Completely unreliable do not use if you want to survive the winter.
Fast and efficient but cover up everything you own , the mess , dust , dirt etc after boiler installation and new radiators is horrendous
Came and turned off my gas supply with hardly any explanation except that the "lid" was faulty. And took my bayonet fittings away which was my property. Terrible customer service.
We had an "engineer" from City Technical Services" inspect our boiler as part of the maintenance contract we have with Scottish Power. Our boiler worked perfectly and only had been serviced a couple of week prior. The engineer then broke a part, condemned the boiler as unsafe whilst my partner (female) was home alone. My father then turned up to see what was going on, dramatically the boiler was then safe to use. My father has some experience within the industry and quizzed the engineer to find out what actually the problem was, and the engineer couldn't explain himself and barged out of the house and left! 15 minutes later the engineer barged through the front door without knocking claiming he left his phone behind, in which he did and we returned. We will be reporting this incident to the police and as he just barged in without knocking!! 0 Stars, please avoid as I don't know how many thousands of pounds they would of tried to rip us off if my father didn't turn up.
This company lacks any customer service experience whatsoever.I was supposed to get a boiler fitted on the 19th April 2016 at 8am and arranged for child to be taken to school etc but at 5.50 pm on the 18th April 2016 I received a phone call from them to make sure installation was still ok for the next day I said yes they said that someone would be onsite between 11am and 1pm when I said no the time is 8am as per your letter they said the time on letter must be a mistake and said if I had to go out to pick my child up at 3 I could leave the engineer in my home on his own!!!!!!! The letter I received was dated 20th of March 2016 and clearly stated the time as 8am so arrangements were made to accommodate them as to date I still haven't heard from them offering an explanation or apology about this and the result is I now wont get boiler until 27th April. Their engineers may be very good but in my situation they have absolutely no customer service experience . Given the experience I have had I would never under any circumstances advise anyone to use this company .
Seems to be this company always leaves unwell customers without hot water and heating totally disgusting its about time councils /associations and home owners got rid of the company of there records and bring in the competitive company from southlanarkshire named saltire they win hands down that's why they are taking over a lot of you're customers /associations/councils
Kirstin took my call and dealt with me wonderfully well. Supportive and calming. The Engineer Andy was a real joy to have in my home. From the get go he was informative, friendly efficient and caring. Asked several times if there was anything else I needed to ask before he left. Dustsheets used to protect surfaces. I've known City Technical Services a long time time now and they just don't let you down.
Boiler not firing on Saturday 9th January AA contract City Technical to attend site - arrive on Sunday City Technical cannot fix and need parts City Technical engineer struggles to put the covers back on the boiler Thursday 14th January parts arrive 2 Engineers from City Technical arrive to install them Engineers discover that the Gas Valve and the Combustion Chamber have been damaged by 'someone' forcing on the boiler covers Cannot be fixed and disconnected from Gas mains as this is now dangerous I am now chasing AA and City Technical for a resolution but getting nowhere in fact they are saying that this is not their fault. This is now 6 days with no hot water and no heating in a house where a severely disabled adult with sever learning disabilities lives and a 10 year old child. I cannot speak to anyone as they have to work it out before I am informed of anything. Disgusted and sick does not cover how I feel about this.
i would NOT recommend this company to anyone.they "fitted" a boiler in my house left two leaks that were that bad they made my downstair neighbours kitchen ceiling collapse through sheer human incompetence.if that was not bad enough they denied it was their fault even though one of their engineers came to my house and fixed the leaks.the worst of it is the house they have destroyed belongs to a woman who suffers from alzheimers and is in a nursing home that has to be paid for hence the reason the family has the house up for sale .a house that is in no fit state to sell thanks to city technical.customer service and after care are both alien to this company.please think twice before hiring this company.i am happy to show pictures i have taken to anyone that wishes to see them.i also have to add, like the previous customer it is impossible to put a review on this companys website that in itself should have made me wary but the council picked this company.wonder why???? and just to finish this company allowed this sorry excuse for a human being to stand in this house ,among the rubble ,preaching that this devastation was not down to them.they are the most abhorrent despicable uncaring company i have ever had the misfortune to deal with.dont take my word for it i do have proof.i have also reported them to gas safe
Unable to get onto website to raise the issue of the exceptionally dangerous driving on vehicle SE63 XFH. Never experienced a moron who tries to undertake on a single file crossing in Morden Surrey and then the driver tried to undertake on the cycle lane (on a red light) and then moved his fan to the offside where he still could not get through because of the chevrons and narrowness. After lights changed drove off and he sped into the adjacent right hand lane, on this part of Martin Way and then swerved into my lane for some inexplicable reason by at least a 18 inches and I had to take avoiding action to the left. Luckily there was no one to my left. I did toot the idiot and to make sure I got whatever message he was sending he swerved into my land for a second time. Luckily this idiot had to turn right shortly after into Aberconway Road. Having been to Glasgow I am very surprised that someone from there has such poor and dangerous driving skills. If you are thinking of giving this company any business make sure that they take on the full liability for the safety of any other employees in your company and local residents. This mob boast about BSI I hate to think what their insurers think about the driving skills if any other of there employees drive like this moron.
